What's the co-op difference? Samara Collective—a worker-owned cooperative—is a business entity owned and controlled by its employees. Each member or co-owner has an equal say in the decision-making process, embodying workplace democracy. Unlike traditional businesses, where decisions typically are made at the top and profits flow upward, in a worker co-op, profits are shared among all worker-owners based on our labor contributions. The co-op model not only encourages a more equitable and collaborative work environment but ensures that the wealth generated by the business benefits those who directly contribute to its success. Samara Collective actively puts the well-being and empowerment of its workers at the forefront! By taking care of our workers, we're able to provide excellence in all we do in partnership with our clients. Together, we can pump the brakes on dystopia and build the world we and future generations deserve. 🌱💼

“NO FEAR” Some people ask me if I’m nervous in front of certain types of people? I learned a technique that really helped me be able to speak comfortably in front of all types of people of any status. ⭐️ LL Cool J, for example, one of the biggest superstars in entertainment, but all I saw was a New York Yankee fitted cap, white T-shirt, jeans and Timberland boots. 🏠 I’m from New York City, this is all I saw every day at the park, at school, at the club, on the train and in the studio. I’ve been comfortable talking to that type person my whole life, matter fact I’m that person as well, so why should it be any different Talking to LL Cool J? 💡 So in that moment, I have exactly the conversation that I wanna have with him. Talk to him about sports, about television and about film. Overtime, if you practice this technique instead of thinking about his or her celebrity, you can then speak to anybody in the world. And they will appreciate it as well, because they get to be themselves in that moment too. 🏁The Human Experience. #lifelessons #motivation #creativity #digitalmarketing #management #creativeconsultant #lifecoach #publicspeaking #LLCoolJ #celebrity #thehumanexperience #film #docuseries #innovation

Today in class reading on being a steady leader, it really hit today. This last weekend we had a fair in our teeny tiny rural county. It wasnt a county fair but a town fair. They call it "The Worlds Smallest Fair" It was fun, and the kids won cash prizes too. Very inclusive as we are a melting pot of mostly Causcasion/Native American mix people. BEAUTIFUl! Jobs should be like this! So let me brag a minute. Every year they have a challenge called Plank Race. My kids are always at eachoher necks and even chores that might require teamwork are done with scorn and agruing. God bless them babies. They will learn 🤣. My kids volunteered themselves all on one team, And they won! Ages 10,13,14,16 They won 1st place even against the towns adults. I was so excited! They can do anything they put their minds too! No blaming and no putting it off on someone else! Video is just something I found on Google. #leadership #steady #teamwork #adaptive #challenge #conflict #personaldevelopement #growth #mindset

Happy Fair Friday ♥️ Flattery will get you EVERYWHERE!!!!!! . . . . . P.s. it's a lie 😬 Flattery-based promotions prioritize charm and manipulation over actual performance, often leading to incompetence in leadership roles. Employees who excel at self-promotion may advance, while those focused on merit get overlooked. Conversely, merit-based promotions evaluate individuals based on their actual accomplishments and contributions to the company. This approach fosters a culture of excellence, where talent and hard work are recognized and rewarded. Employees feel motivated to perform at their best, knowing their efforts will be acknowledged and valued. Ultimately, companies benefit from a skilled and motivated workforce, driving innovation and success. #fridaywisdom #weekendvibes #fairness #truth #equality

"We worked with Sarah and the [Gallagher] team on doing the job levelling exercise. That actually was sneaky important. The value that's delivered was kind of quite sneakily under the radar in terms of actually it's really transformed our business. It hasn't just allocated 1,600 colleagues to one of seven job levels. It's actually provided a structure for everything.”   In the video below, we have the opportunity to listen to John Hamilton, Chief People Officer at Bellrock, as he discusses the significance of job levelling in ensuring fair pay structures within their organisation.   Want to learn more?

Are there any companies that formally keep in touch with their ex-employees? The ones that gave years of quality service. Like most schools and sports clubs do. Are there any companies that have regular 'Back To's', or a type of 'Old Boys/Girls Club', or even provide some sort of 'Emeritus' role like Academia does? • Wesley College keeps sending me updates on what notable ex-students are doing now 😊, as well as an 𝘐𝘯 𝘔𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘮 section. 😢    • My Sydney Swans footy club has an internal career path for the right ex-players, as well as regular ex-Player events. I don't know of any companies that do something similar. Sometimes there are pockets of ex-workers that may unofficially catch up, but the company doesn't organise them. Some companies I've worked in, I've seen the opposite. One MD wouldn't let leaving employees farewell the business, no matter how long or effective their contribution may have been. For companies that have been around a while, I'd like to know if there is an opportunity to add to the culture by establishing an ex-employee guild of some sort. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has seen something like that in place. #oldboysclub #oldgirlsclub #exemployee  

Last night’s match wasn’t England’s finest hour (well... 93 minutes), and the chilly reception from supporters and media didn’t help. 🙈 But it's in these moments that the true spirit of support is needed most. In sports, as in the workplace, the power of encouragement can ignite a 🔥 within a team to strive for greatness.   Imagine a workplace where:   ◽ Every misstep is met with encouragement ◽ Every effort is recognised and celebrated ◽ Every team member feels the collective confidence in their potential   That's where magic happens. That’s how we turn setbacks into victories. ✨🙌   Let’s channel that same unwavering support into our daily grind. Let’s foster an environment where empowerment and enthusiasm aren’t just words, but the essence of our culture. ⚡ This is one of the many reasons I enjoy working at Reed and working with my team at the Enfield branch 🤩 We look out for one another - supporting, celebrating and empowering. 👊 #Empowerment #TeamSpirit #Motivation #Resilience
